I'm just beginning Contravene (today), doing research and I'm curious-- you said you've been on the medication for over a year. How are you doing on it? I'm curious long-term how this works for people. And yes I know everyone is different. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I have been on the medication 16 months. It is very effective for me. In the first 2 weeks I had some of the side effects. I have pretty much been symptom free since that point. The medication has been very effective at helping me eat the way I should. I no longer obsess about food. I am able to make good choices and lose and KEEP off the weight I have lost. If you obsess about food, this is an amazing medication.
